This is my kind of story. I love the voice, I love the premise, I love the tough choices and the characterizations, and I love the resolution and the happy ending. This is a story worthy of an award. New reaper gets assigned to a two-and-a-half-year-old and has a bit of a problem doing his duty, and shennigans happen. Loved it.

"That’s what makes this job tough, of course. It’s not the dead rejoining the limitless love of the universe; it’s the ones they leave behind, who have to keep on trudging through the world beneath the burden of their terrible, limited love."

Wonderful story, one point deducted for the predictable ending.
